IDON’T know about you, but I have never home worked. I have commuted to work five days a week for years and been quite happy to do so.

I believe that on the whole, children are actually much easier to cope with than pets.

Menopause.

The other night whilst travelling home on the train from work, I couldn’t help but overhear two heavily laden women yakking on about their latest purchases.

I always feel the need to clear out a lot of mental and physical baggage at this time of year, but as I tend to procrastinate, I decided to enlist the help of my friend Mae.

Catching up with my friends after the Christmas break, the initial polite chit chat was about how everyone spent Christmas, and how their Christmas dinner turned out.

In some ways many people will be happy that the Christmas party season is at an end.

Around about this time every year, I never cease to be amazed at the amount of stress and anxiety some people put themselves through for the sake of a so called ‘perfect’ Christmas dinner.

I was impressed to read recently that a retired Dundee civil servant is the new voice of the BT speaking clock.

You’ve no idea the amount of comments I’ve had since putting up my Christmas decorations in the office.
